Simple username changes

Shortcuts

This page hosts simple requests for a username change across the Wikimedia network. Requests are processed by stewards and global renamers.

Instructions

Read Wikipedia:Changing username carefully. You must be aware of and understand all the implications of changing your username. Specifically:
- Your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited, and in all log entries.
- Your user pages, account preferences, and edits will be moved to the new name. Please do not create a new account or attempt to move them yourself.
- Links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be created pointing to your new userpage.
- Understand that using your real name as your username may put you at risk of harassment.
Read the username policy and ensure your new name does not violate it. Usernames must not:
- be inappropriate, profane, or offensive
- contain libelous, contentious, or non-public information
- be misleading by impersonating other users or implying that you have authority
- be the name of a company, organization, group; or imply that the account is shared with multiple people
- contain emoji, emoticons, or non-language symbols
- contain the # < > [ ] | { } / @ : = characters, among other restrictions
Check that your new username is not already in use by searching for it on Special:CentralAuth. If the name is registered, even on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
If the target name hasn't made any edits to any Wikimedia project, you may request usurpation at meta:Steward requests/Username changes.
Log in with your current username. Requests will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
Place your request here.
- Add your desired username after NEW=.
- Add a reason for the change after REASON=. Requests without a valid reason will not be approved.
- Do not change anything else.
Select Publish changes.
Check back on this page periodically to answer any inquiries regarding your request. Consider watching the page so you can monitor updates. Requests may be closed if there are unresolved queries.

Requests that do not follow these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.

For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia, please see courtesy vanishing.

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:

The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to.
There is no global account registered for Ritendra, however there is 1 unattached account another wiki. --Chris G Bot 3 (talk) 04:40, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Bureaucrat note: The username appears to be promotional. Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy. Please choose another name. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:03, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't want to put a spanner here, but why is this promotional? I might be missing something. Wifione ^Message 10:39, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to assume it has something to do with the CSD notifications on the editor's talk page, notifying the editor of the two-time CSD nomination of Ritendra prasad, presumably (from the notices) about a person. I'm personally inclined to believe the creations (having looked at the deleted histories) were innocent autobios of a newcomer, but that (I think) was the reasoning.

Clerk note: Please note that while "karothiya" can be lowercase, the MediaWiki software automatically capitalizes the first letter in usernames, meaning that "Pramod" cannot be lowercase. You can however, place {{lowercase}} on your userpage to give it that appearance of all-lowercase. Note to bureaucrat: only edits are to autobiographical userpage, indicating possible promotion.

Hi. The reason you were blocked in the first place was the concern you are sharing your account. Please comment on this matter. If you are unaware, accounts are intended for individuals; sharing of accounts is not condoned. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 13:04, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
